Huberman Lab · Behaviors That Alter Your Genes to Improve Your Health & Performance | Dr. Melissa Ilardo · 26 May 2025 podcast

Or potentially, you could motivate them through that.

We really have very little evidence that intelligence is heritable.

We really have very little evidence that intelligence is heritable. So I think that's a big one, especially if you feel like you're not coming from a very intelligent family. That doesn't mean anything, really, based on what we know currently.

Oh, man. I don't know, but I'll tell you, I did not inherit any rhythm from my dad.

Yeah, I mean, it's a really great question.

Yeah, I mean, it's a really great question. And I think one without a very good answer at this point. I think one of the things holding back this discussion up till now is that CRISPR is still a little bit of a blunt tool. You know, we're not, we haven't, like the way that we're applying it

You know, we're not, we haven't, like the way that we're applying it

So that's kind of one of the issues, I think, technologically. I think if I remember right when that happened, people were a little bit like, that technology isn't ready to be used in that way yet. But, of course, that's something that is changing really rapidly. We're getting so much better at this. We're able to do it successfully in lab animals. And so, yeah, ethically, I mean, it's just –

So that's kind of one of the issues, I think, technologically.
